More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?

Roper: I'd cut down every law in England to do that!

More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you — where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast — man's laws, not God's — and if you cut them down — and you're just the man to do it — d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.

“Is the fact that the NRA accepted contributions from 20 Russian linked contributors a big deal?”

I would say it was a big deal that NRA took money from Vlad, who hates America.

Except that when they’re not taking money from Vlad, the NRA are taking money from gun manufacturers, who also hate America.

So maybe it’s not a big deal.

“Is Wendy Vitter unfit to be a federal Judge because she cannot say that segregation and Jim Crow was wrong?”

It doesn’t look great. But we’ve got a president who said there were “good people” among the Nazis at Charlottesville, so this is the “new normal,” I guess, for as long as this terrible joke of an administration lasts.

“Did Mr. trump change his policy about announcing when he is going to attack another country?”

I’m thinking not. Trump warned the Russians in advance the last time he bombed Syria. If he does it again, that’s really no change at all.

“Why isn't this story about ICE possibly causing the death of an immigrant couple in California getting more national attention?”

“Why do you think the FBI was also seeking records about that infamous Access Hollywood tape when they raided Michael Cohen's home?”

This is just a guess, but I think the FBI are investigating the illegal lengths to which Cohen went to cover up Trump’s indiscretions/crimes.

Did he hire armed goons to make violent threats to Stormy Daniels if she didn’t keep quiet? And if Cohen did that, he may also have pulled similar shady shit in an unsuccessful attempt to cover up Trump’s “pussy grabbing” moment. Hence the interest in the tape and any other records related to it.

“What will Paul Ryan's legacy be like? And did he make a ‘Faustian Bargain’ with trump?”

“There is no principle, from attorney-client privilege to the very rule of law itself that the left will not repudiate to get their way.”

Attorney-client privilege does not apply when the attorney himself is involved in the client’s criminal enterprise. Evidently, that’s exactly what Mueller and company think was the relationship between Cohen and Trump.

I'm Chinese-American and think it's weird that black people are so against segregation when you people self-segregate all the damn time. This is what happens when you let your cultural insularity take over your minds.

1) Yeah, kinda. We don't have receipts for the millions of dollars the Russians may have funneled into the election through the NRA yet, but we may before it's over. All you have to do to understand the Russians' approach to the NRA is look at Aleksandr Torshin's multi-year project of a pro gun rights group in Russia. There will not be gun rights in Russia as long as there is a Putin, so what the fuck was his project about? Well, as it turns out, it was about building a relationship with the NRA as a political strategy, as Torshin "methodically cultivated ties with leaders of the National Rifle Association and documented efforts in real time over six years to leverage those connections and gain deeper access into American politics." And they just LOOOVVVE him down in Tennessee. They think he's standing up for their second amendment rights, so his plan is fairly successful among the credulous in the Republican party. But so was Paul Ryan's "budget" for that matter, so who really knows?

2) Maybe. I mean, I don't think she's fit to serve if she actually holds views that the Brown decision was wrong, but her non-answer is actually pretty typical of judges and justices facing senate confirmation. Her views on reproductive rights are a little harder for her to distance herself from, though, and her advocacy for them is not in question. Also, her basic judgement can't be very sound if she's still married to David the fuck Vitter.

3) Policy? What policy? He doesn't have policy, he has Twitter tantrums.

4) Because the level of bullshit hysteria over "illegals" has surpassed the level of value and respect for human life held by a large segment of the Republican media audience, who may be stupid and wrong, but still buy the reverse mortgages and dick pills the advertisers are selling.

5) To confirm his MO for the covering of Fergus' ass?

6) Ryan will live on as a warning/example of what the both-siderist media can do when they try to elevate obvious Randite frauds such as him to fill roles that don't actually exist but need to in order for their business model to work. Anyone with an internet connection could have discovered the fraudulent nature of Ryan's claims to competence in any area that involved mathematics and money the whole time he was in congress. His numbers have never added up, and the reduction of debt and deficits, his stated reason for living, much less entering politics, stands in stark relief to the only actual achievement he has on his record: a tax bill that added a trillion and a half dollars to that debt and raised those deficits back up to a trillion dollars a year starting in 2020.

7) He's just Fergus' kind of a guy, and keeping him on is generating a buttload of distracting headlines about things that aren't Fergus.

"Is Wendy Vitter unfit to be a federal Judge because she cannot say that segregation and Jim Crow was wrong?"

The problem isn't that Wendy Vitter won't say that segregation and Jim Crow were wrong. The problem is that 54 years of experience proves that segregation and Jim Crow were absolutely right and necessary, but federal judges are so pussy-whipped by (((disingenuous egalitarians))) that they won't say so.

"Why do negroes care more about Russia than about the prevalence of black-on-black violence, drug use, and AIDS in your ghettos?"

And the idea that the opposition to strikes against Assad is such a defining moral question it excuses explicitly joining forces with reactionaries and white nationalists, is, to my mind, misguided, to put it mildly.

So, if you oppose escalating a war that has killed 500,000 Syrians, you are a white nationalist.

The progressive, tolerant position is to use another dubious chemical weapons charge to launch another disastrous war in the Middle East. You must support the overthrow of another dictator to facilitate another radical Islamist takeover of yet another country or you are racist. Trump needs to kill some brown people right now or he is definitely in Putin's pocket.

George Bush had more evidence than this before he invaded Iraq.

Funny how today's progressives, including Field, have done a 180 on imperial wars like this. It's almost like it's different when they think it's their empire.

Beginning in early March, Russia’s ministry of defense began to claim that it had picked up intelligence about “provocations” planned by Islamist militant groups outside Damascus designed “to accuse government troops of using chemical weapons in the Eastern Ghouta against civilians.” Defense ministry officials later elaborated that the conspiracy to mount false-flag chemical attacks involved a whole cast of characters ranging from U.S. special operations forces operating in the Syrian desert to Free Syrian Army members in the south of the country to al Qaeda members in Idlib Province.

"Defense ministry officials later elaborated that the conspiracy to mount false-flag chemical attacks involved a whole cast of characters ranging from U.S. special operations forces operating in the Syrian desert to Free Syrian Army members in the south of the country to al Qaeda members in Idlib Province.”

Everything’s a “false flag” to the wingnuts now, from Vlad and his disinformation ministries to good old Alex Jones.

But perhaps we just need to consider the possibility that Assad is an evil war criminal and America's gun laws don’t work? How about that?

FN:"Is the fact that the NRA accepted contributions from 20 Russian linked contributors a big deal?"

Nope,nothing to see move along. Total bullshit story. So now the NRA got Trump elected??? NRA membership is soaring as many in America see thru the gun control gun grab as a threat to their liberty and sovereignty of the USA.

Speaks truth to power wingnuts won't accept the fact that Clintons aren't crooks no matter how many times they aren't ever charged with crimes.

Why do wingnuts accept money from foreign nationals to inject into American politics? Aiding and abeting Russia to interfere in elections is a treasonable offense and should be punished by firing squads of libs with fully automatic assault weapons.

Why do you white fuckboys care more about wondering what negroes care about instead of caring about the prevalence of opioid over doses, baby rape and violence going on in your trailer parks? Priorities man!

I'm Indian-American and find it weird that white fuckboys obsess about negro people all the damned time. Don't the rest of you find that weird? In my country of origin fuckboys just did fuckboi stuff and not post daily about negroes and Chicago crime stats Weird and very fuckish.

Everyone, including blacks, was much better off before the civil rights movement.-------------And how do you know this fuckboi? Any evidence? Did you do research or a get a degree in sociology or like all dumbassed white fuckboys you just pulled this out of your unwashed shaggy ass?

The numbers came from a 2007 U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics report, which stated that blacks were victims of 7,999 homicides in 2005 and said that 93 percent were killed by people who shared their race

The problem is that 54 years of experience proves that segregation and Jim Crow were absolutely right and necessary, but federal judges are so pussy-whipped by (((disingenuous egalitarians))) that they won't say so.----No, the problem is white fuckboys who are poor, uneducated and just can't accept the fact that their white skin doesn't give them any special powers and are soooooooo overrated. It burns them up to see successful negroes so they want to go back to a time in which they could control what negroes did so they wouldn't look so bad to their kids who are wondering why the "inferior" negro has a great job and money while uncle/daddy doesn't have a pot to piss in and is "between jobs". Now take this ignorant fuckery back to stormfront or whatever site other fuckboi losers blame negroes for their lack of success with women and life in general.

Yup blame (((them))) and everyone else but themselves for not being able to compete without jim crow to help them out. What a bunch of crybaby snowflake pussies! Man the fuckup, you should be able to handle this so called superior race fuckboi. Losers can't hack! BwahahahahahahahahHahahahaha!

Think about how dumb these Asgardians are. They use the flag of the losing side of the civil war so right there that shows these dumbfucks are not the swiftest in the pack. Add into that they readily admit without white male affirmative action i.e. jim crow, they can't compete so they blame their losing ways on laws that prohibited legal discrimination. Loser assed fuckboys are lost without laws that favor them. Such a sorry bunch. They go to websites that pump their heads up about their loser asses being better than others and uses soooooo many excuses to explain why if they are sooooo superior why is it that so many of them are virginal losers. Rush Limbaugh is the prime example of this mindset. No wonder their dumbassed grandpappies lost the goddamned war. Now I guess I'll just sit back and wait for these brain warriors to lose the next civil was they're planning with toy drones. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Jim Crow wasn't about jobs. Jim Crow was about crime control. Keeping the Africans at the back of the bus was about keeping them from robbing people and perving on white women.

You can't "compete" against a legal requirement to hire anyone other than you. Are you ready to give up Affirmative Action, diversity mandates and "disparate impact"? If not, don't talk about competition.

mike from iowa said...Russia was posting a month in advance of the chemical attacks so Drumpf's minions would fall for the garbage like they usually do--

Mike's hot take: Russia called the false flag chemical attack a month ago in order to provide coverage for a real chemical attack they planned to spring as soon as their side had won, thus starting the conflict all over again. Because reasons.

The roots of Russophobia’s emotional appeal to the left seem clear: It comes as a huge mental relief to the ultrasensitive liberal mind to be able to hate an outside group with impunity, and even to appear virtuous in the process. Of course, the object of that animus is a Christian and European nation that stubbornly refuses to be postmodernized, or become gripped by self-hate and morbid introspection; a nation not ashamed of its past and unwilling to surrender its future to alien multitudes; a nation where nobody obsesses over transgender bathrooms, microaggressions, and other “issues” indicative of a society’s moral and intellectual decrepitude.

The truth is out there for all to see. Just disabuse yerselves of the notion Fake Noize is truthful and you can see the light.

Fake Noize is less trusted than MSNBC and CNN. They even showed a graph, accidently proving this fact. Howard Kurtz couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

Stoopid fucking wingnuts are desperate to hold onto power even though they can't govern and cannot investigate to save themselves. If they can't legislate their twisted brand of kristian sharia law, they will hopefully stock the judiciary with enough right wing taliban to do the job for them.

Congratulations to the orange spaz attack in the WH. Apparently he fathered a child around 30 years ago and a tabloid paid a doorman hush money to keep it kwiet. Now the story is out and the doorman has confirm3d the hush money aspect. No wonder Drumpfuck doesn't want anyone, let alone any exes snooping in his lawyer's files.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when Drumpf has shit for brains up his sleeve.

No shit asshole, geez another superior race genius. No wonder they have to spend all their time bitching about how bad they have it since jimmy crow ended. Boo hoo hoo, I can't yell nigger without getting my ass kicked. Go fuck your mother/sister again ya smelly pale ape.

Maybe I should buy stocks in morgues is rural white Oklahoma. If jim crow was still around maybe so many Asgardians wouldn't be dying at record rates. Now only if I was a white fuckboi and not a successful negro I too could OD on hillbilly heroin.

Eeewwwww, now white fuckboys have drippy dick syndrome. I wish I was lucky enough to be a white fuckboi so I can be hooked on meth and have a drippy dick. Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha! Too bad I'm only a wealthy negro with a healthy dick. Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha! Doesn't trump have drippy dick too? That's why he's so senile? Bet he's a methhead too. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Because he is effectively pursuing the President's agenda by reigning in excessive regulatory burdens.----------Um no, Scott Pruitt is a weird mother fucker who built a fucking phone booth in his office because we all know spies are tapping EPA phones. This dumbass has to fly first class because people said mean things to him in coach. Oh, he also has a large security detail because EPA chiefs are of course routinely in danger. How much crazy do we fucking need?

"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)" ~Philebrity~

"One of the most precocious and hilarious Black political minds on the net. Ive been a long-time fan!" ~Asad Malik~

"..While most of what he writes is tongue-in-cheek, his space is a safe house for candid discussions about race, especially in the comments section, where people of all colors meet."~~Daniel Rubin, "The Philadelphia Inquirer"~~

"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

~~Richard Fausset, "L.A. Times"~~~

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

"Half a century after Little Rock, the Montgomery bus boycott and the tumultuous dawn of the modern civil rights era, the new face of the movement is Facebook, MySpace and some 150 black blogs united in an Internet alliance they call theAfroSpear.

Older, familiar leaders such as Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, are under challenge by a younger generation of bloggers known by such provocative screen names as Field Negro, thefreeslaveand African American Political Pundit. And many of the newest struggles are being waged online."~Howard Witt-The Chicago Tribune~

"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together." ~Chicago Tribune Reporter, Howard Witt~
